There was a whole bunch of packages [...]]]> My daughter upgraded her PC from 9.04 to 9.10 independently. Only hiccup it lost the Windows Network Printer however I Googled a bit and found to you needed to upgrade Samba if your Printer was on a Windows 7 PC (our case), so I went to System->Administration->Update Manager. There was a whole bunch of packages in there I selected all of them and did the update. I was then able to Find and Add the Network Printer via the Samba option.

I think this is because Microsoft is a large corporation, I have worked for many years for such organizations where the engineers would find their choices and suggestions overridden by non-technical managers.
